10. He looks great in a pair of Isotoner's.
9. Marino rhymes with Morono.
8. He hates Jay Fiedler.
7. The Lions hired Matt Millen, so why not?
6. It's the only way Dan gets another shot at a ring.
5. He's experienced in December collapses which is an important requirement.
4. It gives Wayne Huizenga a chance to call people on his cell phone and say "I'm having lunch with Dan at the club right now".
3. Bob Griese wasn't available.
2. The Fins hope Dan can do for their team what he did for the world as a TV analyst.
1. The Fins needed something to talk about in January.

this move puzzled me. and by puzzled i mean COMPLETELY SHOCKED!!!!!! sure he was a great quarterback, but what does he know about being the vice president of football operations?

I know what a GM does. I know what director of player personnel does. I know what a coach does. But what does a "senior vice president for football operations" do? Sounds important but probably isn't. The fins will probably bring in a "real" GM soon. Dan will be around for lunches, cutting ribbons, and sounding like a complete idiot in interviews, just like now. But the difference is now Dan has a title and his own parking space. He can also make sure they keep the pigeon droppings off his statue. Sounds like a typical fin season, a lot of big talk and not much substance.:phinsblow

actually the GM is Rick Spielman. wannstedt and rick both report to Dan. marino has the ability to fire them and since he didn't like fiedler coming in as miamis starting qb, more than likely fiedler will not be miami's starter next year.

commitment to his family is more important than a football organization, except i wouldn't want him saying that to a rookie. :)
